Okay, here's the scoop. Most NeXT heads have told me that the internal 400M
drive in the station is a Seagate ST1480. I called Third Wave Computing and
they're "taking orders", but the drive isn't available now. (only available for 
"eval"). They gave me a price of (cough) $2199. I contacted a wholesaler who 
called a Seagate rep. The rep told her that the ST1480 isn't due til APRIL!

I called Hewlett Packard, they tell me that the HP 425M 3.5" unit is also in 
"eval". It's model number is CS2235S. It's SCSI II compat., fast, and has a
5 yr warranty. 

I'm posting this because I have a 105M station and want to get an internal
400M drive. Preferably the one being sold with the unit now. That one, by the
way, is most likely one of these "eval" units.

I can get the Seagate, when it's available, for $1550.00. If you have a station
with the tiny drive and want to upgrade let me know, I'll try to build a bigger
order.

Thanks
Alan
